SpRATIOMYlDiE. 
ScHiNER (Reise der Novara, Dipt pp. 60-62) remarks upon the genera of 
this family, with which he unites Berh and its allies. Vappo (Lat.) = 
Pachygaster (Meig.) ; Plilocerma (Macq.) = P^?7occra (Westw.) ; Cyclogaster 
(Maeq. ) = Zas?’o/;a (Jlrullt^) ; and Clilorisoma {Rondi.) = Mici'ochrysa (Loew). 
Of this family as limited by him he recognizes 636 previously described 
species, thus distributed : — in Europe 136, in America 298, in Asia 104, in 
Africa 57, and in Australia 31 ; the habitats of 10 species are unknown. 
America constitutes the head quarters of the group, both as regards the 
number and diversity of forms ; and some subordinate groups peculiar to 
America are indicated by Schiner.

Xylophagidaj. 
Schiner (Reise der Novara, Dipt.) refers Peris and its immediate allies 
to the Stratiomyidm, and divides the insects referred by the Recorder to the 
present group into 3 families, Xylophagidse, Coenomyidie, and Anisomeridss. 
Cyclotelus Agapopliytus, Gui5r.), Dimassus, and Phycus (Walk.) are said 
to belong to the Therevidse. Inopus (Walk.) is transferred by Schiner from
